Frankana Caravan und Freizeit GmbH

Introduction of a new IT Infrastructure for the Camping and Leisure Equipment Supplier

 

  • Catalog production time shortened by 20%
  • More than 50 affiliated dealers
  • The transfer of more than 17,000 products to 90 families

 

Project Goal

Duration: 2019 — Ongoing

 

The goal of the project was to create an IT infrastructure that was as homogenous and future-proof as possible with high-performance components and systems. The existing workflows and procedures were to be optimized, standardized, and largely automated to establish a solid and efficacious foundation for the company's digital future.

In the future, it should be possible to address both existing wholesale customers (B2B) and end customers (B2C) with a digital platform and help retailers with digitalization without adding to channel conflict. Existing sales channels should also be streamlined and optimized to achieve cost savings. This includes the existing print catalog.

As the company consists of two distinct entities that operate under the Frankana-Freiko umbrella brand, there exists a multitude of distinctive characteristics and obstacles.  For instance, the two companies had different ways of doing things, responsibilities, and tools they used. Structures and systems that had matured led to data silos, efficiency losses, and limited scaling options.
